Under GDPR there are 6 lawful bases for processing personal information:

  1. Consent
  2. Performance of contract
  3. Compliance with a legal obligation
  4. Vital interests
  5. Public interests
  6. Legitimate Interest

The main grounds used by WeaTemps to process personal data are as follows:

Consent:

Consent may be collected when a candidate applies to a position advertised on our website or when you submit a CV via our website not associated with specific open role but for general consideration. Where candidates apply to WeaTemps for jobs, we will provide candidates with a copy of this privacy statement and seek candidates consent via email. WeaTemps also seeks consent from candidates with whom we have engaged on public domains such as LinkedIn and wish for us to act on their behalf.

Legitimate interest

We may process data using legitimate interest where the candidate has either voluntarily provided their personal information directly to us. Where we use legitimate interest as legal ground for processing, we consider that our processing is in line with candidate expectations and that there is a balance between our interests, and those of candidates. Candidates may object to any processing undertaken on the grounds of legitimate interest at any time.

Code of Conduct

By receiving temporary employment from our platform, you are expected to respect everyone regardless of their gender, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability or aspects of what they look like, where they come from and who they are.

WeaTemps will not tolerate any kind of disrespectful behaviour in all places where a temp and employer meet for service delivery.

WeaTemps is meant to be a 100% positive experience from the beginning of provision of services until the end. Disrespectful behaviour includes, but is not limited to:

Retention Period

We will consider it in our legitimate interest to retain the personal data for a period of 12 months as well as for the candidate who has sought our assistance in meeting their employment ambitions. Where such a candidate has recorded their specific consent with us in accordance with the company’s Privacy Statement, longer 5-year retention will apply.

This retention period is based on our experience that having engaged with us on employment options, individuals are open to considering new opportunities within that timeframe. Each individual has the right to withdraw their consent and have their personal information erased at any time.

How we protect your Personal Information

WeaTemps will take appropriate legal, organisational, and technical measures to protect your personal information.

We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet or mobile phone network connection is not completely secure.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the personal information you transmit to our website. Any transmission is at your own risk. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur during transmission, once we have received your information, we will employ appropriate technical security measures to protect your data.

WeaTemps takes its obligations very seriously and adopts the strongest line in relation to the misuse of customer information by any of its staff.

Our data processors include external consultants, welfare to work providers, professional advisers such as legal, software and technical support providers, IT consultants and marketing technology platforms and suppliers. We only share information with third parties who help us in the delivery of our job placement services to you. These third parties may not use that information for any purpose other than assisting us in providing these services. Any contact information that you provide through our system will not be sold/rented/leased to any third party for selling or marketing to you. We will only provide third party companies with the personal information they need to deliver the appropriate service.

We require all companies providing such support services to meet the same standards of data protection as our own. They are prohibited from using the information for their own purposes. We do not allow service providers to use your Personal Information for their own activities.
